Bug description:
  After installing Ubuntu 12.04 on a Toshiba AC100 a couple of months
  ago, as described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100 , I
  experience a disaster from time to time when working with my system:
  update-apt-xapian is being run by anacron, and it consumes a lot of
  memory and CPU, so that nothing is usable on the desktop:

  from pstree:

       ├─anacron───sh───run-parts───apt-xapian-inde───update-apt-
  xapi───cat
